Andrew Thomson, D.D., was formally introduced to the congrega- tions which compose the Flesherton circuit. Dr. Thomson is one of the many missionaries tennporarily ex- cluded from their fields in China be- cause of the Japanese occuipation, and is now being inducted for an in- definite term. The service was conducted by Rev. A. W. March, of Durham, and the sermon was given by Rev. A. D. Pen- man of Priceville. Mr. Melville Bu- chanan sang a solo and the choir rendered an anthem. At the close Dr. Thomson gave a short address. The evening was brought to a close by refreshments- served in the base- ment of the Church. IWas With Annan Chieif Petty Officer Stewart Pea- cock of Toronto was a visitor last week with his grandmother, Mrs. Wm. Lever, at the home of Mr. Fred Brown. Chief Petty Officer Peacock served with the Canadian Frigate Annan, when a German submarine was sunk by gunfire and depth charges. The submarine was located under water and was brought to the surface, disabled, by depth charges. Sixteen hits with 4-inch shells were registered an2 •2,880 rounds of Oer- likon fire were used. The Frigate closed to within 50 yards of the sub- marine and the final depth charges were landed, the submarine sinking, with some of the crew escaping and picked up by the Annan. Several decorations were awarded the crew of the Annan for their victory. Engagements The Rev. and Mrs. A. E. Arm- strong wish to announce the engage- ment of their daugnter, Rev. Alice Adelaide Armstrong, B_A., of Neth- erhill, Sask., to the Rev. Jerry Huff, B.A., of Herschel, Sask., the marr- iage to take place in, the Netherhill United Church early in July.

Field, the marriage to take place quietly early in July. The engagement of Elva Marie, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wiley, Markdale, to Russell Kearns Phillips, second eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Phillips, Flesh- erton, is announced by her parents, the marriage to take place in July. Card of Thanks We wish to express our apprecia- tion and thanks to our kind neigh- bors and friends who assisted us in every way in our recent bereave- ment in the loss of a loving mother, Mrs. Sarah Simmons, who passed away Friday, June 22, and also for the many beautiful /loral tributes â€" Wesley and Flossie Plantt. "A birthday rarely causes a woman to think of the past," ob- serves a writer. Only, of the present. LAMBS IN DRAIN PIPE Mr. (Herman IJarris, an Eigreraont farmer, is curious to know how lonj;.' a lamib can live wi^^hout food. He has one that was lost ten days in a fif- teen inch drain pipe and when found and released was able to stand and take staggering steps. It may have had a little water during that time through seepage of moisture, but had had no food. A second lamb died under the same circumstances. How the lambs crept into the culvert is a .mysrtery and their disappear- ance caused an unproductive search until Nature took a hand and let their whereabouts be known. â€" Mt. Forest Confederate. Baptist Church Notef ROCK MILLS SEEVICE CANCELL ROCK MILLS SERVICE CANCELLED There will be no afternoon service of Sunday School or church at Rock Mills this Sunday. Services are withdrawn to permit attendance at Feversham Youth Rally. Everyone is urged to hear Mr. E.

Eugenia Convention There was a fair attendance at the Sunday School Convention held in the church here on Thursday, June 28th. After an address of wel- come by the local superintendent Mr. Arthur Proctor, Rev. Mr. Mc- Nichol conducted the afternoon de- votional exercises. iRe^^. 'HiaHiwell gave an address on the Spirit of Es- cape, speaking of our daily prob- lems, the affects of our homes, schools and churches, also the effects of the pleasurable side of life, these are all taken into account in the spirit of escape. Rev. Mr. Bewell of Barrie, Prov. Rep. gave two fine dis- cussions. The first was on the Church and School co-operating and pointed out conditions in various schools and showed that co-opeartion would bring good results. His ad- dress on "Go Yj Into All the Week" was very instructive, showing that the church was the most essential part of a community. It was the v.inning power of God to establish His Kingdom and this we mist re- alize. Supper was served by the Women's Association in the churen basement. In the evening the wor- ship was conducted by Rev. Halli- well. Miss Inez Nichols of Markdale gave worthwihle discussion on hymns for Sunday School and de- monstration how to teach them. An address on Five Musts in Christian Education was given by Rev. Mr. Bewell, (1) Must try to do what is set before us, (2) Must be able to talk on our religions as freely as about our holidays, (3) Must have our work well prapared to teach classes, (4) Must know how to pray talk with God and feel fellowship with Him, (5) Decision is another must, wnich creates energy and gives us power, must lead young people to a decision. Young people's work needs imiportant directing. Mu- sical numbers, in afternoon and even- ing were supplied by Billie McMillan and Shirley Cairns. The Misses Mabel and Edith Betts rendered a sacred duet. Mr. Mes.senger was again elected President with -Irs. C. Martin as Vice President..
